California Waterjet Cutting Services

Dix Metals offers precision waterjet cutting services with state-of-the-art CAD-equipped units. The speed and accuracy of this cutting technique gives you both cost efficiency and precision, allowing faster production and profitability. Our facility is based in Huntington Beach, California, and we offer our waterjet cutting services for U.S. and global customers.

High material usage: Waterjet cutting maximizes material usage through tight nesting, which lowers your cost per part. Taper is all but eliminated, with less than 1 degree in straight-line geometry.

No heat-affected zones: Waterjet cutting eliminates heat-affected zones and offers true part-stacking ability, with consistent tolerance layer to layer. This ensures that there is no burning or melting on cut materials.

Excellent edge quality: The superior accuracy that results from importing any CAD file directly into a FlowMaster® waterjet creates an excellent edge quality. This makes it possible to cut complex shapes efficiently.

Finish cut: Waterjet cutting is considered a "finish cut," immediately usable for signs and displays, which saves on finishing costs.

Cost-effectiveness: Cost savings per part are unmatched by any other cutting system.

Sustainability: Due to its precision, waterjet cutting generates little waste. Additionally, Dix Metals collects and recycles all scrap material, including the garnet used as the abrasive in the cutting process.

Flow Waterjet Cutting Equipment

Dix Metals employs two Flow International abrasive waterjets. The active tolerance control on these cutters gives us the capability to cut parts up to four times faster than conventional waterjet cutting machines. Our senior-level waterjet machine operators are highly trained to handle the most challenging projects.
